Connoisseurs of the peculiar need look no further. An Eccentric Tour of Sussex is a guidebook to the county’s left-field. It signposts the way to some of the weird, wacky and gobsmackingly silly places, people and events that can be found in Sussex. Whether it’s the seedy pleasures of Brighton, the pyrotechnic excesses of Lewes, the smoky and beguiling atmosphere of the Bluebell Railway, the heavenly Sistine Chapel replica in Goring-by-Sea or the lesser-known and rather sinister delights of Thorney Island, prepare yourself for a roller-coaster excursion full of fun, whimsy and a little erudition. However well you think you may know Sussex, this book is guaranteed to throw a revealing light on some of the more unconventional and quirky destinations sitting on your doorstep.

- Comprehensive listings of ‘other eccentricities’ nearby so that the reader can plan a really mad day out.
